Saman Tabrizi Named Managing Director of Staffgroup

International recruitment specialist Staffgroup, part of Cordant Group, has appointed Saman Tabrizi as its new Managing Director, as the company embarks on the next stage of its growth. Saman takes up his new position after spending over four years leading the organisation’s German division in Berlin.
 
As part of his remit, Saman will now oversee both of Staffgroup’s companies, Eurostaff and Earthstaff, in London, Berlin and Hamburg. Staffgroup boasts a headcount of 150 staff and a turnover of £55m. Saman will lead Staffgroup’s plans for expansion as it looks to launch offices across at least five more European countries over the next 12 months.
 
Saman, 30, first joined the recruitment sector in 2009, working for SThree. He left the company in January 2013 and approached Staffgroup with the proposal to launch the German division, before being invited to setup the office in Berlin. He spent three years as Director at Eurostaff Germany, before being named Managing Director in January 2016.
 
Saman will now be primarily based in London and will report to Chris Kenneally, CEO of Cordant Group.
 
Commenting on his appointment, Saman said: “This is a fantastic opportunity and I am very enthusiastic to lead the Staffgroup brands at such an exciting time. Ambitious plans are in place to further develop and expand the business in order to cement our position as a market leader. Within my new role, I will ensure that we will continue to deliver a range of exceptional services to both new and existing customers, as the organisation embarks on an important new chapter.”
 
Chris Kenneally added: “By approaching Staffgroup with a proposal to launch an office in Germany in 2013, Saman has shown he has a keen entrepreneurial spirit. He has done a brilliant job in Germany over the past four years and we have full confidence in his ability to take this next step.”
